Best Answer

At the equator, the surface temperature on Mercury can range from 100K (-173'C) to 700K (430'C). This is due to a very long apparent day length, from a combination of the time taken to orbit and the planets axial rotation.

What kind of climate does a low latitude have?

Low latitudes are close to the equator. The temperatures are warmer as the latitude decreases, so they are very warm at low latitudes. At the equator, in some places around the world, the highest temperatures can reach 125 - 130 degrees and sometimes more.


Is the earth's equator the same why or why not?

No, there is a range of temperatures around the Earth's equator due to changes in altitude. The mountains along the equator can (and do, in many cases) have snow on their peaks because they are so high in the atmosphere that it is below freezing. The ocean beaches along the equator tend to be 80 degrees F or higher for most of the year.
